Hey guys

So I just got my new ssd today (happy holidays!) and I forgot an important aspect of the drive.

I have really no way of mounting it as I only have 3.5 inch drive sleds so basically my ssd is just dangling in the case. The cables are secure and the ssd is firm against the back of the case, is this going to impact the ssd in anyway or is it ok to leave it like that for the time being (or forever if it doesn't matter)

Thanks all and happy holidays!

Since an SSD has no moving parts you can have it placed anywhere you would like in the case without any negative repercussions, if you do want to clean up how your system looks though I would suggest buying some velcro and velcroing the SSD to your case :)

My Current Build: 

Intel i5 3570K @ 4.4GHz 1.11V, Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, Asrock Z77 Extreme4, Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1600MHz, Samsung 840 EVO 250GB, Asus GTX 760 DCII Overclocked, Corsair CX600M
